    When this library was first released I downloaded all instruments and it played in VI Ensemble (they're placed in their own SY_xxx folders for each group, i.e. SY_Violins, SY_Cello, etc.). Now that the library has been "Synchron-ized" I was forced to download the library again in the Synchron format (they're placed together in a Synchron Strings folder). This seems to be using twice the disk space that's necessary, and it's HUGE.

    Can I safely delete the first round of downloads, pre-Synchron-ized? The ones in foders beginning with the name "SY." And in doing so, would I lose the option of opening Synchron Strings in VI Ensemble?

    Hello elambo, 

    If you erase your VI Sample Content of SY Strings, you cannot open Synchrion Strings in Vienna Instruments anymore. 

    I moves the VI Sample Content to a bigger, slower drive, so I can always access them when needed.

    Best,
    Paul

    That's what I did -- moved them to a platter drive just in case -- and that freed up about 200 GB.
